Miley Cyrus, Neil Young lose homes in Malibu wildfires

At least 29 people were confirmed dead in the wildfire that obliterated the Northern California town of Paradise, equaling the deadliest blaze in state history.

The most destructive of the fires was in northern California, where people died as flames reduced the town of Paradise, population 27,000, to a smoking ruin and continued to scorch surrounding communities.

Meanwhile, the Woolsey Fire near Los Angeles killed two people and forced more than 275,000 people to leave their homes, bringing the total death toll in the state to 31. This grim statistic surpasses the 29 Los Angelenos killed by the Griffith Park Fire in 1933.

Glenn Simmons, 64, toldAFP in the nearby town of Chico that he had been sleeping in his vehicle since Thursday, unable to find a space in a shelter.

Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said: "We are doing everything we possibly can to identify those remains and make contact with the next of kin so we can return the remains to the family".

Police say 228 people are unaccounted for in the Paradise area alone, although many may be in emergency shelters.
